I often said that if I had three two friends to join me on a Quiz Show demonstrating general knowledge, my brother-in-law: Jim would be my first choice.
Jim had an active and a reflective mind. His input was always poignant and his observations appreciated.
My memories of Jim invariably involve an steamy, early Hampton's morning coupled with thoughtful man on the sands casting for something meaningful.
I hope that you caught it, brother.

I was honoured that Jim was responsible, in part, for my presentation at Christ's Hospital (2007). So sad to say goodbye. I'll always remember the happy times, his wisdom and inspiration. A good friend is the medicine of life. Our heartfelt sympathy to Patrice and the Bell family.

From Whitman& Ransom to Parson & Brown to Satterlee (1986 to 2003) working with Jim was a pleasure. He was a gentleman quick to smile and generous with his wit. His office was understated, a quiet and peaceful place made joyous by the wall of pictures of his beautiful grandchildren of whom he was so proud. Jim, you were well liked and much admired by all who knew you. You are greatly missed.

Please accept my condolences for the family of a generous and outstanding man. I left before he came to Christs Hospital as a one year exchange student and only came to know him after moving to the US in recent years. His contribution to CH was exceptional and we must all be thankful for his generosity towards the continuation of the school's mission. Sincerely

I miss you papou. You were a wonderful, loving, beautiful, polite intelligent, exciting, and kind grandfather. There is a whole in my heart that will never be filled. Thank you for all the wonderful gifts you have given to your coworkers, friends, and family. We love you.

I worked as Jim's secretary for 11 years, he was the best boss that I have worked for. He cared about his clients, loved his family and enjoyed his vacations. Once his Mother telephoned when Jim had gone to run an errand, I told her that he said he would be back in a half an hour but that I expected him back in an hour - she said "you've caught on to him". I will miss him.

Jim, in the last four years of my life and time at Christ's hospital, you could not have done more for me. You have changed my life forever, and I will never forget you. You were an extremely generous and kind man, I will always remember what you have done for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Jim, I did not know you well, but every encounter with you, whether in person, by phone, by mail or email, left a lasting impression on me. A truly remarkable man, you will be missed by the Christ's Hospital community. My thoughts are with your family. "And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with Jim's family. Jim touched the lives of so many people and he'll be missed. Jim was loved and respected by his colleagues and co-workers and a credit to his profession and law firm. He set the bar high, was always the gentleman and he always got the deal done. It was my good fortune to know and work with Jim for over 20 years and I have so many wonderful memories of this gentle man with the sharp and witty humor who loved his children and grandchildren and I still remember how he would beam with pride and joy when sharing their accomplishments with me. A loving husband, father, grandfather and friend. Adios, Jim.

My heartfelt sympathy to the Bell family. I will always remember Jim as the sweet gentle man that I've worked with for over 18 yrs. One of my fondiest memories of Jim is whenever you asked about his children and grandchildren you should have seen how his face would light up. He will be missed.

Jim was a great source of inspiration and wisdom for me. I learnt a lot from him and I shall never forget his kind hospitality, warmth & friendship. He was a truly exemplary Old Blue & this is a huge loss for the entirety of the Christ's Hospital community. All our thoughts and prayers are with him and his loving family. We shall never forget you Jim.

Jim was my exact contemporary at Christ's Hospital. We caught up with each other 44 years later when I invited him to join the Board of Friends of Christ's Hospital on which he served for eight years. He helped restart the student exchange program with the school in England,donated generously to FCH, and was a gracious host to visiting students and staff. On behalf of all his Housey friends I send condolences to Patrice and his family.

I am so sorry for the loss of Jim. He was one of the most elegant and compassionate people I have ever met. It was an honor to be his law partner and friend during my years at Satterlee. My deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

Thanks for the opportunity to share an appreciation for a lovely man whom you, his family, knew in a closer and a more intimate way than those of us who had the pleasure of working with and learning from him. I met him only late in his professional career, but was honored by even briefly getting to practice with someone so considerate and intelligent, with such subtle humor and avid interests.

You were my oldest cousin whom I would looked up to and adored. You were our family historian and made us remember where we came from and gave us pride and honor because of that. I am so sad that you are not here anymore, My prayers and love go out to you and your family.
